Anyone seen one of these, just had an email from:

With the following message.................

I tried replying to the email address but it bounced, the domain is temporarily unavailable but what I find unusual is that it gives the name and address of who is supposed to be taking / failing to bill my card ??

Anyone shed any light on this ?

Appreciate any feedback.

Just out of interest

Did the scam email have a size of 41kb.?? I have had two or three recently, never opened them, just deleted. (Yahoo mail puts suspected spam straight into a bulk storage box but I couldn't spot a Yahoo link to report them as spam). Strange they were all the same size. If I remember one even puported to be from my paypal account. Knew that couldn't be right as I have never used paypal ever or even registered to use it.

This particular one was only 4Kb. What was more unusual from the more obvious ones is that this one was more of information rather than asking you to do anything.

Sometimes I enjoy a battle of wits with the lesser intelligent beings that try scams.

You leave my pipes out of this :lick:

They look even better on the new Bird especially with new screen too.

I reckon these bar stewards have the email set up so that when you open it, it triggers a response which lets them know they have managed to hit a real email address and so bombard us with more junk. The BT Yahoo spam filter seems to be quite good,but the odd one still gets through.

That and others!!

I received that one a day or two ago.........in the last two months I must have received about 5 of these things!!! :wank:

if I don't recognise the sender it goes straight in the bin un opened!! :dunno:
I receive a load of rubbish and occasionally one or two emails I do want go west, but at least my puter isn't infected with bugs all the time!!
